I'm sure question has been asked so many times and after looking at different sites and what different say, I'm still confused.
So here goes after this I'm deciding.
I've recently brought a Samsung 55" 4k Curved TV along with a Samsung soundbar (wireless).
But on occasions the wireless soundbar can be a little temperamental it was suggested that I go wired with either a optical or HDMI.
Can anyone here, please help me in telling if there is a massive difference between the 2. I got of info I've got is that HDMI can transport for data that the optical but the Optical cable could sound better as it is audio only.
any advice for help would be, and based on that what price bracket should I spend in getting any cable. Curry's have a optical for £12.99 (Belkin) then have another make for £45.00, makes goes for their HDMI.
thank you in advance to all that might be able to help

If it is decently made there will be no difference at all between a 45p and a 45 quid cable. The only reason Currys want you to buy a 45 quid cable is they make an obscene profit on it. It has absolutely no sonic benefit at all, despite all the bovine excrement that gets spouted in the lunatic fringes of the HiFi community.
